Based on the multiple Emmy-winning drama now entering its fifth and final season in July in the U.S., “Metastasis” tracks a mild chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with terminal cancer and ventures into the netherworld of drugs and crime to pay his medical bills and to ensure his family’s well being.

“Critics and audiences love ‘Breaking Bad’ and its original take on the drug dealing business,” says Angelica Guerra, senior vice president and managing director, production, Latin America and U.S. Hispanic for SPT. “It is a very relevant story for all audiences, produced with the highest standards, in spectacular locations with the best talent in the region.”

“Breaking Bad” is the latest hit to be adapted by industry pioneer SPT, whose successful track record includes local productions of “Married…with Children” in 12 territories including Colombia and Israel, “Everybody Loves Raymond” in five territories including the Middle East and Russia, “The King of Queens” in Bulgaria and Russia, as well as “I Dream of Jeannie” in India.
